He Who Wins Souls Is Wise

Main Idea

The lecture focuses on how to win people through practical love and wisdom, not through words alone, based on the biblical principle: “He who wins souls is wise.” True love is expressed through actions, wise behavior, respect for different personalities, and patience with human weakness.

Spiritual and Educational Dimensions

• Winning people requires wisdom that understands each person’s nature; children are won by tenderness and giving, youth by respect and persuasion, elders by honor, and women by kind words and appreciation.
• Practical love is essential, not mere expressions, and includes giving, cheerfulness, kind speech, and good listening.
• Giving is not limited to money, but includes time, care, affection, encouragement, and a smile.
• A good tongue and a gentle heart are powerful ways to win hearts; a word can either gain or lose a person.
• Winning people requires endurance, overlooking weaknesses, and covering others’ faults rather than exposing them.
• Humility, serving others, and being sensitive to their needs without waiting to be asked are key ways to win people.
• Anger, pride, and excessive concern for personal dignity repel people, while gentleness and a broad heart attract them.
• The highest example is God Himself, who gives continually and loves all, worthy and unworthy alike.
